This article contains major character or plot details. Lynette (Vanessa Kirby) is having a bad night. The protagonist of Night Always Comes has a matter of hours to raise $25,000 to buy her home — or else she and her family will be out on the street. Contending with her incalcitrant mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh) who would rather splurge on a new car, Lynette is forced to turn elsewhere: going through a Rolodex of odd jobs and past partners in order to make it through the night in one piece.
